A Boy + A Sandwich.

For as long as I can remember Mr. Owen has refused to eat a sandwich. When I did happen to make him one, he would consume the insides [usually ham and cheese] and leave the bread. On Valentine's Day I whipped up a bunch of little heart sandwich's for the children. Easton and Abby got the sweet surprises in their lunchboxes and Owen and I enjoyed ours together. Guess what? He actually ate it. Bread and all. Everyday since then his lunch request is "a heart sandwich, please. Make sure it's cut into a heart"

This reminds me of this vintage better homes and garden kids cook book that I have. They have a section on sandwiches. And the only thing that they do to make the sandwich 'special' is to cut it into a shape. But my girls take it very seriously! They open the cookbook and find the 'recipe' that they want. Basically, a PB&J cut into a star.

I'll have to show it to you :)

I must compliment you on your heart sandwich. I can never get my shapes to look so good! What's the trick?

I am new to your cute blog--and this picture and post made me laugh! I have those exact same dishes--the mini yellow anthropologie bowl and the mikasa stoneware plate. And--my little 3 year old will NOT eat a sandwich either. I am going to try the heart shaped idea! So thanks!! And good luck with your new baby!

My son said he would start eating sandwiches when he was six, that was 8 months ago. Have you seen the cutters that are specifically for sandwiches and cuts the crust off while cutting it into two perfect dinosaurs?
